- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Condenser drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

Q: Is there an easily removable food strainer or does it have to be unscrewed?
A: Remove the lower rack and position the bottom spray arm so a wider vee is open to the front. Turn the inner filter counter-clockwise and take out the assembled inner filter and stainless steel filter. With the filters removed, check the sump opening and remove any foreign materials, if needed. Clean the filters with a soft brush under running water. Reassemble the filters before reinstalling them. To replace the assembled filters, position the spray arm so the wider vee is toward the front. Fit the filters back into the filter holder and secure them by turning the inner filter clockwise until it clicks into place. ^Daphane
Q: Can this model LDN4542W be hard wired to the electrical source, instead of using a power cord ?
A: This unit requires hard wiring. ^Daphane
A: This LG dishwasher comes with a black metal kickplate held in place with two screws.
A: I can't speak to the other model you're comparing it to but if you use Rinse Aid and set the machine for the Extra Dry cycle AND load it properly so that water collectable basins on your dishes face down as much as possible the machine seems to do well, No machine has ever been perfect and plastic is a problem for all dishwashers as are oddly shaped dishes that allow water pools in multiple places. Unload at the bottom first so the upper rack doesn't splash to the bottom and just try not to overload the machine and I think it will be fine. What towel drying I have had to do hasn't bothered me so far.
Q: Does this have a hard food disposal?
A: No, this unit does not have a hard food disposal. The dishwasher can be connected via the drain hose to the garbage disposal. ^Daphane
Q: Where are the water spray arms located?
A: The water spray arms are below the upper rack (not the 3rd utensil rack at very top) and also below the lower rack. Thanks!
Q: Does this dishwasher have WiFi capability to connect to ThinkQ app and remote start option ?
A: So what does “smart” mean in this model’s description?
Q: Do the dishwasher light up when running?
A: The dishwasher has an electronic timer which lights up and let’s you know how long your cycle will run. It counts down and remains lit while you are running the dishwasher.

Pleased
Capacity is good, and with a little bit of rinsing aid, performance is great. This washer is quieter than our previous one, and seems to be far more efficient with cleaning. It does a better job of getting junk off the plate as well. Cleaning time however is a bit long. 2 to 3 hours? Maybe this is for energy efficiency? But that doesn’t make sense. Install installation process was a breeze and we are pleased with our purchase. We have owned this product for about six months and the only thing I can say is that rinsing aid is very important. I heard that there are some issues with leaking depending on the unit but our unit is fine and we have had no issues with leaking.

Great dishwasher
I’ve been using the LG 24" Front Control Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher for a few months now, and I have to say, it’s been a game changer in my kitchen! The sleek stainless steel finish looks fantastic, and the front control panel is super easy to use. I love how the QuadWash technology gets my dishes sparkling clean without all the noise—it's so quiet at 48dBA that I barely notice it’s running. The extra third rack is a lifesaver for fitting in all my utensils, and the flexible loading options make it really easy to organize everything. While I’ve noticed that some dishes come out a bit damp, it’s still been an excellent choice for keeping my kitchen running smoothly!

Great Product
Washes very well on all settings that we have used so far. Drying function is above average. Smaller bottom section than we have had in the past but nothing to complain about. Third rack at the top is very convenient. Washer runs extremely quiet.
